I have a Williams Space Odyssey pin without the header. The coin door no longer shuts; it may be a swelling issue. The internals are all intact, and the playfield is in very good shape, with one minimal paint touch-up. All the playfield plastics are present, and in great shape. What would be a good price to sell this at? Thanks.
 
Hey Dave. These are almost impossible to sell - it's very very rare obviously to come across ONLY a spare head for a game and not possible to take one from another game without ending up in the exact same predicament.

All it's good for now is a couple of parts but I'd take to see it get all torn up. :( I do have a Space Mission (four player version, bottom cabinet is usually interchangable).

Could you send me some pics of this? Mine is really nice but curious, especially about the internals as at one point a cat got into mine and made it all gross which has kept me from bringing it down into the basement. If the cabinet is a bit rougher than mine it would make me feel a lot better about putting it out on location like I ended.
 
Wiliams Space Odyssey pinball,

I think i have a head for that machine, I will check this weekend. It may not be cost effective unless you love the game. Will send you a PM.

If you do, please consider one of you PMing me. I am friends with doomed and also am meeting DeadCabinet in a few weeks to return a game I am "refurbishing" for him - convienient! Wouldn't mind another put together for trade bait or to operate.
 
If I am correct the one I have is in really nice shape,Picked up a bunch of pins & parts last week. Not going to be cheap.

Even if you HAD the header and everything worked and stuff, the price for one of those
sell for around $600 tops. it's not a valuable game. it's a crusty old pinball from 1976,
there's no love for this game it seems. Williams produced 4,300 of them and that's about it.

They made 11,652 of the 4-player version which is like an all time high for an EM, one of the most successful machines back in the day actually.

You're right they are cheaper though, and that is actually because there are so damn many of them around funnily enough (nearly 16,000 combined made originally) rather than because of quality. Not a reason you see very often as most games of the time only had a thousand or a few thousand made.
